Cindy Lou is a giant! She took on most of her genetics from her Holstein mama and just got a little extra fluff from highland daddy. She’ll be able to breed this summer given her size. She’s double her half siblings who are all full highland. She’ll be a great beef producer with high milk production adding extra milk calories on to all of her calves and would also make an awesome nurse cow or family milk cow! Less milk than a full Holstein so you won’t have to worry about as much mastitis or worry about the extra love and care the Holsteins seem to need (they are sooo sensitive!!!) Cindy Lou will be a tough lady with her hardy Highland genetics in there. Honestly such a perfect mix of two amazing breeds!!! Many producers cross breed beef with dairy to get the best of both worlds. Cindy will be exactly that! 
 
 
NOTE: I am travelling to Athabasca Nov 17th and can deliver for free if you live near or on the way! All Edmonton area!  Also heading to Czar area end of Nov and can deliver in that area too.
 
If you are unhappy with her before leaving you will be reimburse. CHOOSE LOCAL PICKUP to avoid any shipping costs
 
Buyers - I am only wanting to sell to people familiar with cattle already, or ready to dive in but completely set up to handle livestock.
Reminder - highlands are NOT mini, that is not a real thing. They will grow to be around 1100 lbs (females) and can be difficult to work with since they love to use their horns once they figure out how...
 
Things to consider: are you prepared to restrain if injured meaning do you have a chute or a good way to hold a 1100lb animal?
 
Cattle are herd animals so they need at least one bovine friend. Do you have or are planning on getting another this fall?
 
Do you have or can you have a relationship with a large animal vet?
 
 
Have you done your research on hay and pasture? Are you familiar with mineral needs, alfalfa risks, grain risks, how much land you'll need or hay you'll need. Are you set up with a trusting winter water supply?
 
You may want to consider quarantining before introducing to other animals - this is typical farm protocol.
 
 
All important things to consider if you are new to cattle.
